In 9-ball can the cue ball knock in a higher numbered ball, if the lowest numbered ball is hit first?
ex. If no balls have been pocketed, and I strike the one ball with the cue ball and the cue ball travels on and pockets the 5 ball, is the ball spotted or does it count?
Answers:
In nine-ball, on all shots, a player must cause the cue ball to contact the lowest numerical ball on the table first before the cue ball strikes any other ball (excepting when a push-out has been invoked; see push-out); otherwise a foul has been committed. This does not mean that object balls have to be pocketed in order; any ball may be pocketed at any time during the game, so long as the lowest numerical ball is contacted first. Because nine-ball is not a call shot game, the 9 can also be made in this manner for a win. A player also wins the game if the 9 ball is pocketed on the break (a "golden break").
Players alternate innings at the table, meaning play continues by one player until he or she misses, commits a foul or pockets the 9 ball for the win. The penalty for a foul in nine-ball is that the player's inning ends and the opponent comes to the table with ball in hand, which means the opponent may place the cue ball anywhere on the table prior to shooting.
Im trying 2 play pnline pool but they say 2 play it i need 2 set my browser 2 allow pop up 2 play?
I think you actually have to make the lower one in first.so if the 1 ball goes in...and then the 5 goes...it should count. 9 ball doesn't start up for a little while yet, so I'm not positive!Are there good pool players out there who want to join a team in North Surrey?
As long as you call the shot it's good. Slop it in and it gets spotted.in 9 ball if u r shooting at the 1 or what ever if it is it first any balls that goes in counts if 9 goes game is over

The cue ball can hit any ball if it hits the intended ball first. So, yes, you may sink the 5 ball after the 1 and keep shooting.I need a name for our pool/billiard's team for tonight? as many as you can think of please!?
The shot is good providing that in the rules discussed prior to the game you do not have to call your shot. If you play by calling the shot then the ball you attempt ot make has to fall and anyothers made with that shot have to be spotted. There are several variations of 9 Ball and rules....I hope this will helpIt counts. It think you can combo any ball as long as your useing the lowest ball on the table to combo with.

In 9-ball, so long as the cue ball hits the intended/object ball FIRST, it can then hit and pocket any other ball...... thus, your 5 ball counts!
